How barriers to gene flow arise and are maintained are key questions in evolutionary biology.
Speciation research has mainly focused on barriers that occur either before mating or after …

Xenophyophores, giant, fragile, agglutinated foraminifera (protists), are major constituents
of the abyssal megafauna in the equatorial Pacific Clarion-Clipperton Zone (CCZ), a region …

Hybrid conferences are in-person events that have an online component. This type of meeting
format was rare before the COVID-19 pandemic, but started to become more common …

Protists are key players in microbial communities, yet our understanding of their role in
ecosystem functioning is seriously impeded by difficulties in identification of protistan species and …

We describe Aschemonella monile Gooday and Holzmann sp. nov. from the Clarion–Clipperton
Zone (CCZ, abyssal eastern equatorial Pacific), a region characterized by commercially …

Understanding the dynamics of speciation is a central topic in evolutionary biology. Here,
we investigated how morphological and genomic differentiation accumulated along the …

Accurate species delimitation is essential to properly assess biodiversity, but also for
management and conservation purposes. Yet, it is not always trivial to accurately define species …

Why sex chromosomes turn over and remain undifferentiated in some taxa, whereas they
degenerate in others, is still an area of ongoing research. The recurrent occurrence of …

The deep ocean is the largest biome on Earth and yet it is among the least studied environments
of our planet. Life at great depths requires several specific adaptations; however, their …
